Today marks the 10 year anniversary of Amazon's Dynamo whitepaper , a milestone that made me reflect on how much innovation has occurred in the area of databases over the last decade and a good reminder on why taking a customer obsessed approach to solving hard problems can have lasting impact beyond your original expectations.

The Netflix video processing pipeline went live with the launch of our streaming service in 2007. We rolled out encoding innovations such as per-title and per-shot optimizations, which provided significant quality-of-experience (QoE) improvement to Netflix members. This introductory blog focuses on an overview of our journey.

Egnyte is a secure Content Collaboration and Data Governance platform, founded in 2007 when Google drive wasn't born and AWS S3 was cost-prohibitive. In 2007, businesses had started to become more distributed; customers were using multiple devices to access their files and there was a need to make this experience as smooth as possible.

The recent announcement is that Outlook 2010, like Outlook 2007, will use Microsoft Word for it’s rendering engine. Microsoft made great leaps forward with IE8, and just when I start thinking they deserve a nice pat on the back for embracing standards, they give me another reason to lose faith in them.

It may be that we have highly skilled developers who are collaborative by nature, writing relatively simple code that is not subject to much change. For one thing, they lag innovation, rather than lead it: prescriptive IT security guidelines circa 2007 were ignorant of the risks posed by social media.

In the 1970s it spawned tremendous innovation in personal computing technology. From those innovations came products, solutions, and even categories that didn’t previously exist.

This is obvious through the example verticals posited above: an increase in development of sell-side products, or an increase in the demand for greater and more accurate data on the business (and business processes) are clear examples of companies trying to achieve returns that beat the market by making use of a significant IT component.

More specifically, the article was inspired by three major case studies from Albert Heijn [KOK07], the largest supermarket chain in the Netherlands, Zara [CA12], an international apparel retailer, and RueLaLa [JH14], an innovative online fashion retailer.

Thus leadership and its derivative characteristics - notably innovation and responsiveness - are the result of calculated, not wanton, risk taking. Software development capacity, IT infrastructure, and software as a service are all examples of risk assumption. Look for another Capital Markets paper in July 2007.
